e-cigs?

Share
Today, FDA lost its court battle against the makers of electronic cigarettes and can no longer regulate these devices as a drug delivery system. Invented in China, these cigarettes provide a metered dosage of nicotine or vaporized flavored smoke ... unless the battery shorts out and provides a metered shock to your lips. I understand you get quite a charge out of the menthol flavor. (I'm just kidding. But if you did get a random shock in the kisser every time you inhale, I'm pretty sure you would give up smoking ... or kissing.)

While the electronic cigarette is a novel concept, that's just something you won't find in the cigar world. Cigar smoking isn't so much about the nicotine rush as it is about the impression of fearless confidence --- like that of a successful business tycoon building a global empire or of the world leader running with the big dogs of history. Would you prefer Winston Churchill calmly puffing on Rocky Patel cigars or your local council member frantically changing batteries of metal straws of vapor? Yes, it was a trick question. I much prefer a former politician to one who is office – they are less likely to have the FDA take you to court over your smoking habits.

I do agree with your concept. I understand you get quite a charge out of the menthol flavor.

The FDA and big pharma like to have their hands in a lot of different things, electronic cigarettes are something they aren't making money off of so have attacked e cigarettes viciously. I love using my ecig and would recommend them to anyone (who is a smoker atleast)
